Upcoming Events

The forum is a collaborative effort between EPA, the California Air Resources Board, and the South Coast and San Joaquin Valley Air Districts to accelerate the development and implementation of technologies to achieve air quality goals. These agencies will sponsor a one-day public forum that will focus on some of the following technologies and research areas: hydraulic and plug-in hybrids, electric vehicles, fuel-cells for vehicles and stationary sources, air emissions monitoring and remote sensing, selective catalytic reduction for locomotives and marine sources, micro-turbines distributive generation, and architectural coatings and solvent certification. Mike Kosusko, EPA, ETV Air Pollution Control Technology Center, will present. This event will also be broadcasted via Web cast ; online registration is not required. The Web cast can be accessed during the forum from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Bruce Bartley, NSF International, ETV Drinking Water Systems Center, will present “ETV and SWTR-LT2.”

Visit: AWWA 2008 Annual Conference

This international conference is hosted by the European Union’s technology verification pilot projects, PROMOTE, TESTNET, AIRTV, and the Nordic Innovation Center Project NOWATECH. The conference will address politicians, regulators, technology providers, industry representatives, and associations with aims to introduce environmental technology verification (ETV) as a tool for technology promotion, show the results of pilot verifications, and allow for participants to present their views to the European community and decision makers. Teresa Harten, ETV Director, will present on the U.S. perspective and how the various international ETV programs can cooperate.

The workshop will feature an exciting array of technologies developed and verified with EPA's support. Region 2 will present its high-priority needs for technology solutions. ETV and SBIR will highlight innovative technologies for air, water, soils, and surface monitoring; drinking water treatment; greenhouse gas mitigation and cleaner energy; wastewater infrastructure, treatment, and reuse; and air pollution control. The workshop is free and open to all. Environmental professionals and the general public are encouraged to attend. Take advantage of this great opportunity to learn more about two of the EPA Office of Research and Development's key technology programs and the solutions they support, and to help develop projects to work together on developing and verifying new technology.
